"The biggest, most enduring lesson of our system of schooling is that learning is work, to be avoided when possible." Indeed. The antidote for my 13 and 15 years old boys are being Udacity courses.

Udacity's lack of fixed schedules is perfect for them, and the experience is one of challenge and joy.
